All I'm saying is that to celebrate the accomplishments of 12 year olds who are playing Little League Baseball to the extent they do is silly. Just because they are the best amongst 12 year olds? Why not celebrate the guys who win 50 and over senior leagues? They are the best at their age too... How many of these 12 year olds will ever be drafted, much less play at the major league level? Probably zero. Bernstein is right-it's Face in the Crowd material.

I think at least two or three of these kids will get drafted. In 2012 three inner city kids were drafted, four in 2013 and three in 2014. There will be at least two drafted this coming year and I don't see this trend ending anytime soon.

One of the phrases I loathe most is "thanks for taking my call." They should be thanking you, you dumb fuck! Thanking the hosts automatically puts you in a subservient position. Total bitch move.

I totally agree. I NEVER thank hosts for taking my calls. I am helping to fill their radio broadcast with my contributions. I generally say Good morning or Good Afternoon and then immediately get to the comment/question. I also don't ask how they are. I assume since they are not home taking a sick day, they are okay. Asking how they are, is a rookie move.

If that is how you feel Steve, why do you brag about your softball and bowling accomplishments?

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

It is all the more important for a person to have his one moment in the sun should this be the one public accomplishment in his life. Everyone deserves his moment.

ESPN however, would take Romeo and Juliet and make it a 2 am closing time hookup.

Or any other major sport, as Steve so blatantly put it. No other sport ever. I guess Steve has never heard of Margaret Court, Annika Sorenstam, Billie Jean King, or Ceasar Isturis.

Odds are against her but it could happen.
